Dear Pip
I signed to the experimental list but I didn t yet understand some things so I would like to ask you some questions :
How can I post a topic to be read by everybody?
I would like you to see my work knots and give me feedback if possible and do the samewith everybody on the list.
to see my short you can go on myspace untill this evening and see it for free : www.myspace.com/matteopizzarello ,
from tomorrow i ll take it away as I got a disribution contract for internet on
www.indieroad.net
if you want to support my indipendent filmmaking you can go there and watch it for 0, 80 dollar.
Have a nice day and thank you in advance.
Another question ,
I am originally from Rome and I saw the abstracta program and would like to ask you if its still possible to take my work on consideration if you like it, I would be proud to show it in my birth town.
thank you again
